Pros

The company places significant value on those who bring significant value...if you are allowed to do so by your manager. Skills such as VBA, Python, and resiliency are treasured within Bloomberg's Global Data division. You are exposed to every level of investor from back office analyst to CEO. It looks great on a resume.

Cons

Global Data in particular needs to be completely gutted of the awful talent that is leading it on almost every level. The organization chart has become a mess, and people who should be leading departments are suppressed by awful managers who are in their positions because of how long they have been there and who they have befriended. This goes for many, many Team Leaders too. Your experience at Bloomberg will be significantly impacted based on who your initial Team Leader is.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
